I'm sure that you have read the press reports in the UK this week, that lifestyle changes could eliminate 50% of all cancers, I suppose we should all stop and think. BUT I think it not just lifestyle choice or many more people would suffer, particularly oral cancer when out of the total population in the UK only 4,200 new case were diagnosed during the last year. Until the scientist discover the trigger that set the cells on to wreak havoc with this devastating cancer, I expect that many more will have to travel this well worn path..
